Hi all. Today I have a few things I want you to complete in class. I will be available to help people with their SquareSpace, to look at resumes, or to review your project descriptions.
I want to open class talking about the Podcast Project. Many people turned in a file to Canvas, but I want to hear more about the process of setting up the podcast via iTunes.
Once we are done talking about iTunes, I want you to spend class time working on your portfolio. Here’s what I want to see by the end of class:
- Descriptions for 6 different projects you have completed at USF. These could be digital projects or print projects. Ideally, you would have 3 of each. Each project description should be 3 to 5 sentences. Those sentences should explain to the viewer 1) what the project was supposed to be (perhaps a link to the assignment? Include the course name and number?) and 2) what you think it does especially well. For those of you who don’t feel like you have 6 projects you are really proud of, now would be a good time to embrace Garrett’s wisdom.
- Once you have these descriptions, I want you to build your site’s navigation by adding new pages. Copy and paste the projects and descriptions for this page. NOTE: Squarespace has different options for what these pages might look like. Let’s explore those in class.
- Make sure your resume is uploaded to Squarespace, and that there is a link to it from the main navigation.
- Start creating image thumbnails for your portfolio projects.
Also, I want to get together today with the Bluehost people and talk about setting up WordPress.
